Our proximity to the ocean means our landscape plants are subject to salt spray that can drift inland during high winds. Salt can accumulate on plant surfaces as well as in the soil. In some areas, brackish flood waters may contribute to challenges the plants face. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and possible ways to help your plants survive as well as suggestions for plants that can best withstand these conditions.
ESVMG members share your garden stories and photos online with all of us, email to info@esvmg.com.

Become An Extension Master Gardener (EMG)

The Master Gardener Program provides gardeners with intensive education in the field of horticulture.

To become an EMG, trainees must complete 50 hours of education, beginning in January each year, which include classroom instruction, field trips, and hands-on learning. To remain active, EMGs must complete 20 hours of volunteer service and 8 hours of continuing education annually.
